Pioneers and Founders

CHAPTER VI
77/82

I gave it to Ann when a hemisphere divided us, and it brought her safely and surely to my arms.

I gave it to Sarah during her husband's lifetime (not then aware of the secret), and the charm, though slow in its operation, was true at last." The charm worked.

Emily Chubbuck was ready to follow Dr.Judson to the deadly climate of Burmah, to share his labours, and become a mother to the babies he had left there.
They were married on the 2nd of June, 1846, and five weeks later sailed for Burmah, leaving the three children at school.
Emily seems to have differed from Ann and Sarah, in that she had less actual missionary zeal than they.

Sarah at least was a missionary in heart, and, as such, became a wife; but Emily was more the wife, working as her husband worked.

She had much more literary power than either; her letters to her friends were full of vivid description, playful accounts of their adventures, and lively colouring even of misfortunes, pain, and sickness.
